Trump 4 July Message: We're Beating 'China Plague'
President Donald Trump says the US is on its way to a "tremendous victory" over the "terrible plague from China", despite a big surge in Covid-19 cases.
His upbeat video message to the nation was to mark Independence Day - yet many 4 July events have been cancelled on public health grounds.
Beaches have been closed in Florida and California, city parades cancelled and firework displays curtailed.
Hundreds are expected to attend a White House party Mr Trump is hosting later.
